The fake electric fireplace makes a great deal of difference heating up my bedroom. I just love it. I wish I bought it sooner so we could have enjoyed it for longer now. We did save some money on our heating bill during the colder winter months. I live in a fairly large house so it takes a good amount of heat to thoroughly warm it up. The heating bills were starting to become outrageous so I figure this would be a good way to save some extra cash be it only a little bit. I put the electric fireplace away because it’s warm out now but it will be returning this coming fall.
